Wrapping other parser engines

[Paul Bennett]

Jeffrey (mainly),

Suppose I have a programming language that does not (yet) have libmarpa bindings, but which does have its own Earley parser. Case in point being Ruby and the Rley engine:

https://github.com/famished-tiger/Rley

How would you feel about my implementing the SLIF (or something SLIF-like) as an add-on wrapper to Rley? I don't want to step on anybody's toes, in terms of intellectual property, but at the same time, it feels like making a high-level lexer & grammar specifier that would be pluggable for both Rley and any future Marpa implementation would be for the Greater Good, so to speak.

Thanks for your guidance,

Do it!

Please of course give credit to the source.

I think you don't need to ask permission here -- I think the licensing confers the right to do this, a right which I could not revoke if I wanted to.

Good luck, jeffrey
